Many of his male fans have tried to have long hair like him but the fact is it’s too hard to maintain.

Watch the latest episode of the show below:

Today, we bring you 8 tips that will help you to maintain long hair like Ankit Raaj. So without much ado, let’s get started.

Growing hair is a tough task and it also depends upon your genetics. We will skip this part because this is a different topic altogether. We assume that you have successfully grown your hair to a desirable length and now all you need to do is maintain. First, you need to get rid of your old habits like washing your hair daily with hot water because if you do so then the outer layer of the hair will be damaged and it will become frizzy. Its better to wash them on alternate days.

After the wash, do NOT rub dry your hair with a towel because your hair is fragile when its damp and can be easily damaged when you rub them. The best way is to air dry them. In case of urgency, you can always use hair dryers by keeping the lowest temperature setting.

Not many people are aware of the importance of combing hair. One must comb their hair twice a day as it helps the roots to circulate blood and also helps the hair to grow in the right direction. Also, make sure that you don’t overdo it as it will cause itching and irritation in the scalp.

As we mentioned in the above pointer, scalp differs from person to person. There are three main types of scalps, oily scalp, dry scalp and normal scalp. Before choosing products for your hair, you must know the type of your scalp so that you buy the right products and avoid problems like dandruff or itchiness.

There are a lot of varieties of products available in the market according to your hair type. Gel, pomade, wax, clay and hairspray but most of us like to use wax as it gives the perfect hold and keeps the hairstyle as it is. The problem with wax is that it’s is very hard to remove it also damages the hair quality. We recommend you to use hair sprays as it can be removed easily and it gives you similar hold that of wax. You can also go with pomade if you wish to try a sleek look just like Ankit.

Your mental health plays an important part in maintaining your hair or any body part in that case. The more you stay active and stress-free the better results you will see in yourself. Practising Yoga and keeping a check on your eating habits helps a lot.

You can use a lot of shampoos and conditioners to keep your hair healthy and shiny but the moment you walk out in the scorching heat, everything fails within a few minutes. Especially those who love travelling on bikes must understand that riding a bike without a helmet is dangerous to your life and also to your hair. The dust particles and the pollution damages your hair, so it is best to cover your hair with a hat and wear a helmet while riding a bike. The best part is a helmet saves your life too!

Last but definitely not the least. Oil massage with coconut, almond or argan oil is the best way to relax your body and mind. It helps to smoothen your hair and make it naturally fluffy, bouncy and tangle-free. When you continue doing it once a week, you will realise that your hair has a better volume.
